[QUOTE="Lotsofjazz, post: 346487, member: 64243"] First of all, why not start to use Windows Vista, it will be a lot better in using your Dual core CPU capabilities. Also it will enable you to use the latest ATI GFX CCC version and drivers. Also it will enable you to start using EVR in stead of VMR9. I was anxious too to go over to Vista, but after I did, a world of opportunities and improvements opened and things improved dramatically.. It runs a lot more stable with Mediaportal is my experience. You see, your hardware is more or less engineered towards Vista, it works with XP as well, but that leaves a lot of the capabilities and enhancements unused. Like you, I also got nothing but trouble with the Imon IR receiver. It is advertised it should work with MCE remote as is, but it doesnt, beside that the Imon reacts on other remotes erraticly so when pressing my marantz remote to adjust the volume of my home cinema set, the Imon display gets garbled and the IR stops working or even hangs my system completely... So I got rid of that by pulling the plug out of the Imon and got a seperate Microsoft USB eHome IR receiver. since I use that one, all IR related problems are gone, so I strongly advise you to stop using the Imon, it has brought me nothing but trouble. As for the MPA/MPV codecs, I advise you to Unregister them (uninstalling) with Radlight (use google to find this program) completely.. They tend to be used anyways, no matter what you select in Mediaportal configurator. For audio codec you can use the cyberlink or install AC3Filter. If you have a Home cinema set with digital input (SPDIF or COAX), I advise you to connect your HTPC with SPDIF (optical digital out) to your home cinema set and send all audio as is over the spdif, so that the decoding of DD or DTS is done in your home cinema set, and not the PC sound card. Of course this is only possible if your soundcard/PC has a SPDIF or COAX digital audio out. CoreAVC for HD video is OK I think, I use the Cyberlink which can be used in Hardware accelerated mode as well. If your graphics card is capable to use hardware acceleration, I would give this a try.. not allways the better option, but it could improve things a bit. But first thing you should do is getting a Vista copy somewhere. Success, Lots [/QUOTE]
